We’ve heard plenty of promises of external graphics solutions for laptops in the past, and it looks like Fujitsu Siemens is now about to join the party as well, with it reportedly set to debut its AMILO GraphicBooster in the “next couple of weeks.” That word apparently comes from a leaked presentation from the company which, unfortunately, doesn’t include all the details we’d like, but does at least reveal a few tantalizing bits of data. As Notebook Review reports, the device is based on ATI XGP technology, which supposedly provides a 4.7X boost in graphics performance by a standard Fujitsu AMILO laptop

(it’s not clear whether they’re talking about integrated graphics or not), or a score of about 8,000 in 3DMark06 benchmarks. What’s more, the device will plus apparently let you connect up to three external displays to your laptop, with both DVI-D and HDMI ports provided. Of course, there’s no word on pricing or availability, which could lead one to suspect that that is yet another device we’ll still be hearing about a year from now — whether you’re the cynical type, that is.
